Hello, i came here with a small problem that i have regarding the bootanimation. I can`t get it to work. I tried everything. Boot animation apps, download manually and move it to the media. Tried to flash it using TWRP. In all of my trouble i also deleted the samsungani file and bootsamsung.qmg also the bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootanimation.zip file from media and from bin. If somebody has this files i would apreciate their help. Also i wish for some help regarging the custom bootanimation, like i said. I tried everything, can`t get it to work. I`ve got android 4.4.2 rooted with SuperSu. Please help. If somebody can help me through skype i would really apreciate it.

okay so of course many threads/posts about custom boot animations...and i have looked around to solve this issue but not one answer.
(this is for lg optimus)
i can install custom boot animations (from xda and google) and i push them to any of the following /data/local , /system/media , /customize/resource...etc..and they work just fine..
however when i do my own boot animation i must be missing something....have checked and rechecked my files, using 7zip (store), etc..and just a blank screen..i have even broken down other bootanimation files (that work) and still wont work lol..i have attached file..maybe someone can explain or see what i am missing. im guessing its the littlest thing im missing.
thanks.
btw..i have even tried installing with using root explorer etc..so ive narrowed it down to something with one of my files or how its being zipped.
Ok, so here's my problem: I just downloaded the Galaxy S Pulsar bootanimation for my phone here and I can't seem to get it to work. My phone would flash the Vibrant screen, stay black (as if the bootanimation is still playing) and then load up android.
So far, I did as the thread instructed and originally placed the bootanimation.zip inside system/media. I currently have the permissions set to rw-r--r-- but nothing's happening. I even just tried to move it to data/local with the same permissions and it still doesn't work. Could anyone give me some advice on this or tell if I'm doing this wrong? Thx in advance.

Are you rooted? There are a couple of ways. If you have RootExplorer (or any other file explorer app) go into /system/media and replace the bootanimation.zip. The new file MUST have the same exact name as the one you are replacing. Best bet is to rename the old one (i.e. bootanimation.zip.old) and place the new one. Change the permissions to match the other files in there (rw_r__r__). Reboot and enjoy.
Second method would require you to have the root and CWM installed. You can find and download flashable bootanimations and use CWM recovery to flash.
I prefer the first method though..
Mine doesn't seem to have a bootanimation.zip. There's a bootsamsung.qmg and a bootsamsungloop.qmg but those are the only things that seem to be related to boot animation.
Try replacing sanim.zip using the same instructions as above.

I think stock Samsung Froyo and GB roms have these files.
I have two Players and one of them is still on stock Samsung GB (rooted). And as you mentioned, files are not in zip format. So... I am not sure what to tell you here. I had my other one with a custom GB Rom which had the .zip format boot animation and it was piece of cake to replace. So... you can try a custom rom or just leave the booranimation as it is, I guess...
Maybe someone else has a better suggestion for you.
Flash with CWM Recovery
I'm not too sure whether you can change the boot animation on a stock rom, but on the custom rom i'm using, there isn't a bootanimation.zip file. I simply flashed the bootanimation.zip file through CWM recovery.
Hope this helps!
Hello. I wanted to change my boot animation.So i downladed rom manager from store. And from jrummy apps i downladed boot animation fixer and random boot file from there. So i went to recovery mode TWRP and installed that fixer and boot file. I rebooted my phone and bam my normal samsung boot disappear. Now only black window. Soo i readed about bootanimations and went to my system/media file on phone and i didnt find any bootanimation.zip file. I tried to move bootanimation.zip from sdcard/downloads to that media but i cant. I sais failed. Any help ? I relly want cool animation :/ Please help
Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500G) running on Lollipop 5.0.2. I have recently rooted my device and have installed a Root Explorer. My aim was to change my boot animation. At first, I thought that I would replace the bootanimation.zip in system/media, but then, I couldn't find any zip file in there.
I had many files, but the only three which seemed to be related to boot animation were these :
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
bootsamsungmini.qmg
I am sure that I can also do it by flashing the animation in recovery mode. But, I also like my default Samsung animation. If I had found the original bootanimation.zip, I would make a backup and would be able to restore the original animation whenever I wanted. But, with no original bootanimation.zip, how would I do that?
Thanks..

Oh! I understood that. Newer Samsung devices like this don't support the bootanimation.zip. It uses the .qmg format. At least other people who have this query will be helped...
